Sims 4: 'old-school' Vacation Means No Plumbing Or Wi-fi

It seems the digital architects behind The Sims 4 have been toiling away in secret, not on some grand leap forward, but on a fascinating exercise in… subtraction. After a period of what we’re told was intense “cooking,” players can now look forward to an “old-school vacation.” What does this thrilling throwback entail? Apparently, the freedom from such burdensome modern amenities as functioning plumbing and Wi-fi.

One can only admire the sheer corporate genius in presenting the deliberate absence of basic infrastructure as an exciting new feature. Why bother with the complexities of actually designing *new* conveniences when you can simply strip away existing ones and brand it as adventurous digital escapism? It truly redefines the meaning of an "expansion pack," expanding your wallet while shrinking your in-game comfort. Perhaps next, Electronic Arts will offer a "truly primitive" experience where your Sims spontaneously combust from boredom, saving players the trouble of finding a lot without a pre-placed toilet.
